United Airlines Flight Diverted After Decompression

On January 12, United Airlines Flight UA4166, operated by GoJet, experienced a loss of cabin pressure while flying from Lehigh Valley International Airport to Chicago. The Bombardier CRJ-700 jet descended rapidly from 40,000 feet to 10,000 feet in under ten minutes, deploying oxygen masks for passengers. The flight diverted to Detroit Metropolitan-Wayne County Airport, landing safely at 8:20 a.m., with no reported injuries. The cause of the pressurization issue is currently unknown, and the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident. Following a brief stop in Detroit, the flight continued to O'Hare International Airport, arriving over six hours later than scheduled. Neither United Airlines nor GoJet has provided further comments regarding the situation.
